The XVI work of the LICHTGESTALT series shows the asana of the peaceful warrior with backbends - Viparita Virabhadrasana.
The asana can help mobilize energy, increase self-confidence and calm the mind. The backbend opens the chest muscles and deepens breathing, which can create a feeling of spaciousness and expansion. This can help reduce negative emotions like anxiety and stress and increase self-esteem.
In addition, this asana activates the heart chakra, which is associated with love, compassion, and emotional balance. This can lead to a feeling of open heart and improve the ability to feel positive emotions and share them with others. The asana also promotes concentration and mindfulness as it brings with it a certain physical challenge and requires conscious alignment of the body.
The combination of relaxation and self-reflection and her daily artistic work in the studio are absolutely essential for Karin Döring. New ideas often come from pausing and letting go. This is how the idea for the LICHTGESTALT series came about while practicing yoga. Obvious actually.
